ch 97 - Expansion of The House; A Deal Was Made (10)

Zhu Bo followed her look and couldn’t help but busted out laughing, “Looks like Miss Cheng has her mind set on Innkeeper Zhu. Well, if that’s the case, let’s just have Innkeeper Zhu stay behind. Deacon Bai can take over the matters of Lai Yue Inn for the time being. You two can transition when Innkeeper Zhu return!”

“Yes, young lord!”

The two mentioned replied immediately. Innkeeper Zhu looked very happy. One could see that he was excited about this new assignment.

Deacon Bai’s look didn’t change too much but a hint of disappointment flashed past his eyes. He tried to cover up as best he could but Cheng Xiao Xiao still caught sight of it.

Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t have too much against Deacon Bai. He was a well spoken and measured individual; however, when comparing to Innkeeper Zhu, he lacked some of the compassion and a little more utility-focused. That was why she preferred Innkeeper Zhu.

After that was settled, Cheng Xiao Xiao thought of something else. She looked back at the wealthy man and became hopeful.

Zhu Bo felt very uncomfortable under her gaze. He felt as though he had became a prey. It seemed ludicrous but he, indeed, felt that way. Given his status, very few dare to stare at him that way.

Naturally, he didn’t sense any malice from her but he was curious. With a bitter smile he said, “Miss Cheng, if there is anything else, do share. If it’s anything that I could do, I will try my best to help. How’s that?”

“Okay, you said it!” She didn’t expect him to be so generous. This was an equivalent to handing over her a blank check and letting her fill in any amount she desired!

“Would I misspeak in front of the Miss Cheng?”
